Vampiros e a história medieval, uma analise do Drácula e sua contextualização de 2020

Abstract

The main objective of this final course work is to analyze the representation of the character Dracula in the series “Dracula” directed by Jonny Campbell, Damon Thomas and Paul McGuigan. The aforementioned series is used as our research material, adopting a methodological approach based on documentary research, incorporating perspectives from theorists in the field of history, such as Marc Ferro (2005) and Alcides Ramos (2005). These theorists provided valuable insights into our audiovisual analysis and human sciences approach, so that we could identify, as a primary objective, the main differences between the audiovisual productions, highlighting how real-world characteristics influenced the perspective of the content creators, providing a unique point of view. The approach seeks to explore the relationship between audiovisual sources and historical interpretation, with the aim of understanding the value of these materials as tools for approaching and understanding the past. This allows us to offer a visual and auditory perspective of historical events, not only for their representation, but also for building a deeper understanding through these media. The study focuses on discussing the role of audiovisual sources as historical documents that provide historians with a direct and enriching view of the historical context, examining the character Dracula, the medium in which he is portrayed, his evolution over time, and revealing the different approaches and characteristics associated with him in different cinematographic and television universes.
